Owen Freeman, a 6‑foot‑10 center known for his size and skill, is preparing for his first year at Auburn University after a season at Creighton was cut short by a fractured finger.
During his sophomore year at Iowa he averaged 16.7 points per game and was named the 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, displaying a versatile game that mixes post moves with the ability to stretch the floor.
A Fresh Face in the Frontcourt
Freeman says his choice of Auburn was shaped by faith and family, and he appreciates the welcoming atmosphere and the chance to compete in the SEC, which he views as the pinnacle of college basketball.
Off the court he has already begun to explore the city with his teammates, often stopping at the local favorite Botanic for meals and sharing moments that he hopes will become lasting memories.
Coaches and analysts expect the newcomer to add immediate size and a scoring threat around the rim, giving Auburn a new weapon as it heads into a demanding schedule.
